Option Description

Disabled Set this value to prevent the serial port from accessing any system resources. When this option is

set to Disabled, the serial port physically becomes unavailable

3F8/IRQ4 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 3F8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 4 for the interrupt

address. This is the default setting. The majority of serial port 1 or COM1 ports on computer

systems use IRQ4 and I/O Port 3F8 as the standard setting. The most common serial device

connected to this port is a mouse. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port

to Disabled.

3E8/IRQ4 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 3E8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 4 for the interrupt

address. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port to Disabled.

2E8/IRQ3 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 2E8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 3 for the interrupt

address. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port to Disabled.

2F8/IRQ3 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 2F8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 3 for the interrupt

address. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port to Disabled
